Given all the recalls, this has to be the first time a GM dealer wanted a longer statute of limitations.

It’s actually quite logical. Ergen has been acquiring wireless spectrum in government auctions for some time now, and has a ton of it. T-Mobile has been scrappy and gaining customers faster than any of the rest of the Big Four, but needs more spectrum.

Ironically, there’s another article on Gawker today about self-driving cars’ disruption, linked to the book “Rise of the Robots” on automation. There’s a close continuum between that and the promise of Watson.

This is changing, though. I have a free SIM for my iPad (with the 200 MB/month freebie for life promotion), and six months ago, LTE dropped when you reached Hillsborough and didn't come back again until Burlington. Two months ago, though, I had LTE solidly from the Triangle all the way to Charlotte, except for about…

We're working on fixing the lack of stop sign. Only problem is, the solution is a nearly $200 million missing link in Durham's freeway system — the long-missing East End Connector, which is about to go under construction.

I live a few blocks from the 11'8" bridge. (Bull City, holla!)

Ehh, there are other reasons. We have a cabin in the mountains. About 4 hours away. 80% of that distance is at 70mph on a friggin' straight Interstate highway.

Internet access is absolutely to the point of being essential. As essential to life/safety as water, sewer, power? No. But as essential to civic life and society as the phone? Sure. With the move towards online banking, shopping, communication, engagement with schools and local government, there will be a serious…

Salud, salud, I'm all for Wilsonian democracy! Down here the road from ya in the Greater RTP, awaiting the build-outs of Google and AT&T. But, had a chance to meet the Greenlight team a couple of years ago and was impressed. Goodness knows, Eastern NC needs help for economic development, and if gig-fiber can grow…

Who's taking anything out of anybody's hands? Comcast is welcome to compete with municipal broadband providers. Cause, y'know, GUMMINT BAD or some shit like that.

Sweet bargain phone. Only downer: the LTE version doesn't have good UMTS/HSPA coverage for global 3G networks. If it did, this would be the perfect travel burner phone. There is a global GSM version (a la similar Moto E/G phones), but it lacks LTE.

Wow, that's pretty nincompoopy of you to say.

Freakin' corporate resellers. Looks like a rebadged version of this:

So, the documents aren't loading for me.

Oh good lord, those misses against the Rockets have plagued Nick Anderson's memory...

Thanks for the tip. Amusingly the Kinja preview of your comment in my profile as viewed on my phone cut off at "sodium" so my first thought was you were trying to kill me. Oh, Kinja!!

Liquid Plumr Hair Clog Remover. Omigosh this works wonders. The wife doesn't like non-organic cleaners, but after tiring of standing in her own hair-shampoo-greywater swamp when showering (I, wisely, had long since decamped to the guest bath), she let me use this. Worked like a charm.

Which while true, is not of much value for someone who is, say, on-call for their job and has to receive phone calls from any and all phones, be they iPhones, crusty StarTACs, a PSTN handset, some party line in Nebraska, etc.

Thank you!

Curious whether this is an iPhone 6 only feature? I was under the impression this would be available in iOS 8 for any compatible device.
